There are 800 girls at Robeson High School in Chicago's inner city; 115 of them are now pregnant. CNN anchor Kyra Phillips invites CNN's Headline News host and uber-feminist (note the hyphenated last name) Jane Velez-Mitchell on Tuesday's show to share her insights on the outbreak.

He deposited his sperm on her shoes and the flies did all the rest!

Televison character Murphy Brown, a single woman gave birth while 38 million viewers tuned in.

Vice President Dan Quayle commented on the episode saying something like "it sends the wrong message" to single women.

Hillary Clinton, wife of Democratic contender, called him typical of "an administraion out of touch with America" and its growing ranks of single mothers.

Quayle, a Republican and VP to Bush Sr. was slammed by liberals. So now it's George W. Bush's fault for sending a wrong message to young girls.

Liberals are blameless or so they say. It's always somebody else's fault...

Al Gore invented the internet for the express reason of delivering unedited and uncensored pornography to the kids of america for the sole purpose of sex education. Thanks Al Gore.

in inner city schools i.e. condomns and planned parenthood clinics offer teenagers free contraception and abortions.

It's not abstenance stupid, it's lack of character and morals in ALL the individual's lives BLACK, WHITE OR YELLOW - character will impact one's choices. Contraception or abstinence are a matter of CHOICE.

About teenage pregnancies being a 'black thing' - try getting out of your garage and reading statistics about 'white trash' population then compare the numbers and percentages.

IGNORANCE IS A SIGNAL THAT YOU LISTEN TO RUSH TOO MUCH!

Also, Bristol Palin and her baby daddy are just an example of whites acting black in YOUR theory, right?

I believe I recall correctly reading a local Chicago story on this subject, and the Robeson kids had all the coaching and counseling about birth control and contraception you could imagine.

My offhand study of "abstinence only" vs. "complete education and free contraceptives" is that NEITHER work.

Government school is a boiling stew of materialism and sexuality, and kids steeped in it are gonna do what they're gonna do.

Is anyone still listening to the "it's Bush's fault" crowd?

I would love to hear from our 43rd President.

That's a laugh. If we lived in a patriarchal society, Sarah Palin would be home taking care of her children and these two "babes" wouldn't be spewing their nonsense on TV.

The truth is that the teen pregnancy rate rose in 2006 for the first time in 14 years. So, for the first six years of Bush's presidency, the rate did not rise. What happened in 2006 to change that? Well, it must be the takeover of Congress by the Dems! (Yes, I'm being facetious, but my theory makes about as much sense as MS. Velez's.)

Why don't any of the posters here acknowledge the real reason for the explosion of pregnancies? It's race, stupid. Robeson High is an all-black school. And blacks, far more than whites, have a "baby mama" culture. Forget this nonsense about how "Hollywood" or "MTV" makes girls pregnant. Black chicks come from a culture where out-of-wedlock births are a way of life.

By the way, Robeson High is named after Paul Robseon, the pro-Stalinist performer who died in 1975. So much for "positive role models" changing black behavior.

Sarah Palin's daughter did not receive abstinence-only education.

Obviously these kids weren't influenced by George Bush.

Chicago is dominated by liberal government, not rightwing Republicans.

The breach of cultural norms regarding sex among teenagers occurred by liberal efforts.

The real tragedy according to liberals is that these girls did not get abortions.

Blame the parents for not instilling better values in their children. Or people like Obama who have the attitude of "If my daughters make a mistake, they shouldn't be punished with a baby."

No accountability whatsoever. No family values.

And I have no idea what an anti-femenist is, but sign me up. Femenists just want the right to kill their own children. That's about it.

Bush can be blamed for pushing "abstinence only" policies to curry favor with the religious right. "abstinence only" just leaves young people with zero education about their bodies and how to protect themselves. Teen pregnancies are lowest where young people have access to information and options.

Teaching kids sex ed has led to the increase in teen pregnancy. To claim that President Bush and Big Business is somehow responsible and leaving out the liberal side of the equation (MTV, et al) is just plain ignorant. Does Communism reduce teen pregnacy? That seems to be the stipulation of Ms Velez-Mitchell.

The culture that children have been raised in is saturated in sex. The clothes they wear, the movies, books, music, television shows, etc. have the kids constantly marinating in sex; yet, it's Bush's fault?
Just how long can a teen watch soft porn on tv and the movies before a teen has a normal hormonal response?

She has an excuse for why all the girls are pregnant...Bush/Palin. She preaches abortion for birth control (Isn't that a bit expensive Velez-Mitchell?). She says there's not enough sex education in schools to teach the boys to put on a condom or the girls to insist on one. (There was NO sex education in MY school and I knew it).

Velez-Mitchell doesn't even mention the terrible cost of throwing God out with the bath water. Even though there are a lot of people who go to church and practice good morals, it's not enough. We can no longer put our thumbs in the dyke and stop the flow, it doesn't work...now we need a real stopper...some morals!

If you reward bad behavior, you get more bad behavior.

Young girls know that if they get pregnant, the government will give them a paycheck every month, they will get food stamps, be eligible to go to college for free, Job training, they will get free healthcare, they will get rent rebates, tax rebates, how heating fuel rebates.

Getting Pregnant is a free ticket to getting out of their parents house and getting their own place.

The world according to Liberals.

In all due respect, I don't think that's the problem.

Most of these teen prenancies now are not just accidents by kids getting carried away in the back seat of the car at a drive-in movie. They actually plan it. It's not shameful anymore to have a child out of wedlock like it was back in my day.

That's why we need parents to take more of a responsibility in teaching their children in the home what is right and what is wrong. I don't believe kids nowdays are really taught what a huge responsibility it is to bring a child into the world.

To everything there is a time and purpose under heaven... a time to embrqace and a time to refrain from embracing.

"Typical Lib needs government intervention to prevent kids from having sex."

Sorry, I missed that part: which liberal needs the government to prevent kids from having sex?

Colt.45 has the answer: if teenaged boys would just go back to stealing rubbers, we wouldn't have these problems.

Typical Lib needs government intervention to prevent kids from having sex.... The best thing the governmment could do is to stop giving them money based on the number of future welfare recipients they can create. "It worked for mommy, guess it will work for me too".
